<1. OVERVIEW>1-6
IM 12F5A2-01E
1.4 Measuring PrincipleThe FC500G free available chlorine analyzer (non-reagent type) is used for measuring concentration of free available chlorine present in sample water, such as chlorine (Cl2) hypochlorous acid (HClO), and hypochlorite ion (ClO-).The measuring principle of this analyzer is analysis determination using the rotating electrode polarographic method. Free available chlorine concentration is determined by measuring the current (diffusion current) which flows when free available chlorine is subjected to electrolytic reduction by applying a voltage (applied voltage) between the indicator electrode (rotating electrode) and the counter electrode. The applied voltage is set in a region where concentration polarization occurs (plateau region) in polarography. In the plateau region, the diffusion current does not change even if the applied voltage changes.In measurement practice, since the plateau region changes with free available chlorine concentration, the applied voltage is compensated so that measurement can always be performed in the plateau region. Also, since the diffusion current is affected by the sample water temperature, temperature is compensated using a temperature sensor (Pt1000Ω) incorporated in the counter electrode.Figure 1.5 shows the block diagram for the FC500G free available chlorine analyzer (non-reagent type) operation. The analyzer determines the free available chlorine concentration by applying an applied voltage corresponding to the diffusion current between the indicator and counter electrodes and by applying temperature compensation to the diffusion current.

3.1.2 MountingMount the FC500G free available chlorine analyzer (non-reagent type) on a wall surface. For mounting holes, see section 1.3.
3.2 Piping3.2.1 Sample Water Piping
Connect a 6 mm OD X 4 mm ID polyethylene tube to the sample water inlet. Set the sample water pressure at the sample water inlet to 1 to 30 kPa (flow rate: 0.1 to 2.5 l/min).Note: If a sample water inlet valve is used, set the pressure at the valve inlet to 10 to 150 kPa.
Connect a hose of 12 mm lD to the sample outlet. Make piping so that no drain stagnates in the hose.
3.2.2 Air Purge PipingMake the air purge piping only when the FC500G-5 free available chlorine analyzer is used.The air purge piping connecting port (1/8 NPT female) is located at the electrode assembly. Exercise care in piping because the electrode assembly must be removed in implementing inspection or maintenance (see Figure 3.2).

<5. CALIBRATION> 5-1
IM 12F5A2-01E
5. CALIBRATIONPerform zero and span calibration when the analyzer is to be initially started up and also when re-operated after prolonged shutdown.During operation, perform span calibration periodically (approx. once a month). When span is to be calibrated, first polish the indicator electrode (see subsection 6.1.1) and then perform running-in operation for approx. one hour.Zero calibration is virtually unnecessary during operation if it is performed once at start-up. How-ever, merely confirm periodically that the zero point is correct during operation.
5.1 Zero CalibrationThere are two methods for calibrating zero: the “open input circuit method” using which the calibration is performed by pulling up the rotating and counter electrodes from the sample water and the “chlorine-free water method” using water free from chlorine (e.g., water filtered through activated carbon). Normally calibrate zero using the “open input circuit method”. However, if free available chlorine of low concentration is always to be measured (e.g., approx. 0.1 mg/l), use the “chlorine-free water method” for zero calibration.
5.1.1 Zero Calibration Procedure Using the Open Input Circuit Method
(1) Remove the electrode assembly from the measuring tank with the indicator electrode ro-tated and fix it to the holding studs. (Remove the electrode assembly by loosening the two fixing screws.)
It is not necessary to stop the sample water.(2) After display of the free available chlorine concentration has stabilized, perform zero calibra-
tion. First, remove the terminal cover. Next, slowly turn the zero calibrator (potentiometer) using the attached flat blade screwdriv-
er to adjust display to zero.(3) Mount the terminal cover. Return the electrode assembly to the measuring tank and tightly
fix the assembly using the two fixing screws.
5.1.2 Zero Calibration Procedure Using Chlorine-Free Water Method
(1) Prepare two to three litre of chlorine-free water (prepared by adding 10 ml/l of pH 7 buffer solution and 50 mg/l of NaCl to purified water).
(2) Stop supply of sample water and wait until the sample water level in the measuring tank decreases to below the sample water inlet. Then disengage the sample water inlet piping.
(3) Introduce the chlorine-free water into the measuring tank. Connect a tube to the sample water inlet and pour the chlorine-free water contained in a
suitable vessel into the measuring tank by utilizing a head from the inlet. If a pump is used for supply, use a flow rate of 100 ml/min or more.
(4) After the free available chlorine concentration display has stabilized, perform zero calibra-tion. First, remove the terminal cover.
Next, slowly turn the zero calibrator (potentiometer) using an attached flat blade screwdriver to adjust display to zero.
(5) Mount the terminal cover. Also stop supply of the chlorine-free water. After the solution level in the measuring tank decreases to below the sample water inlet,
remove the tube and restore the sample water piping connection. Supply sample water.

<5. CALIBRATION>5-2
IM 12F5A2-01E
5.2 Span CalibrationThere are two span Calibration methods: “sampling method’’ using which calibration is performed based on the manually analyzed free available chlorine concentration of sample water, and the “standard solution method” which allows calibration using a standard calibration solution having a free available chlorine concentration of approximately 80 % of the measuring range. Calibrate the analyzer span using the “sampling method’’ unless the chlorine concentration of sample water is near zero. (Span calibration can be performed without removing the terminal cover).Note: Before performing span calibration, confirm that the electrode does not remain exposed to
the air as after zero calibration, and the electrode rotates normally in the measuring tank.
5.2.1 Span Calibration Procedure Using the Sampling Method
(1) Confirm that the free available chlorine concentration in the sample water is stable by ob-serving displayed values.
(2) Sample the sample water by loosening the drain cock at the bottom of the measuring tank. When sampling the sample water, exercise care so that the tip of the counter electrode is
not exposed to air above the level of the sample water.(3) Quickly measure the free available chlorine concentration of the sampled sample water, us-
ing a manual analysis such as amperometric titration (AT method).(4) Slowly turn the span calibrator (potentiometer) using the attached flat blade screwdriver to
adjust display to the manually analyzed value.
5.2.2 Span Calibration Procedure Using Standard Solution Method
(1) Prepare diluting solution which is obtained by adding 10 ml/l of pH 7 buffer solution and 50 mg/l of NaCl to purified water (sample water can also be used instead of purified water).
(2) Prepare 2 to 3 liter of the standard solution conditioned to a free available chlorine concen-tration of approximately 80 % of the measuring range. To obtain this solution, dilute commer-cially available sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution using the diluting solution prepared in step (1).
(3) Stop supply of sample water and wait until the sample water level in the measuring tank decreases to below the sample water inlet. Then disengage the sample water inlet piping.
(4) Introduce the standard solution into the measuring tank. Connect a tube to the sample water inlet and pour the solution contained in a suitable vessel
into the measuring tank by utilizing a head from the inlet. If a pump is used for supply, use a flow rate of 100 ml/min or more.
(5) After the free available chlorine concentration display has stabilized, loosen the drain cock to sample the standard solution.
In sampling the solution, exercise care so that the tip of the counter electrode is not exposed to air above the level of the solution.
(6) Quickly measure the free available chlorine concentration of the sampled sample water, us-ing a manual analysis such as amperometric titration (AT method).
(7) Slowly turn the span calibrator (potentiometer) using the attached flat blade screwdriver to adjust display to the manually analyzed value.
(8) Stop supply of the standard solution. After the solution level in the measuring tank decreases to below the sample water inlet,
remove the tube and restore the sample water piping connection. Supply sample water.

6.1 Mechanical System6.1.1 Indicator Electrode Polishing
Indicator electrode contamination influences the measured values. Accordingly, the indicator electrode (rotating electrode) is always rotated to polish its surface using glass beads.However, the surface very gradually becomes contaminated with time elapse. Thus, periodically polish the electrode surface using a polisher (alumina).Polish the electrode surface using the following procedure:(1) Remove the converter cover and turn OFF the converter power switch.(2) Remove the electrode assembly from the measuring tank and fix it to the holding stud. It is
not necessary to stop the sample water.(3) Remove the electrode assembly cover.(4) Insert an Allen wrench (accessories) into the hole on the side of the rotating shaft below the
drive belt and manually fix the shaft. Remove the indicator electrode by turning it counter-clockwise. Do not touch the rotating contact or the indicator electrode surface.
(5) Apply polisher (alumina) attached as an accessory to a wet gauze and carefully polish the electrode surface until all contamination is completely removed. After polishing, wash off the polisher using clean water. Once the surface is clean, it will wet uniformly without repelling water.

CAUTIONDo not touch the rotating contact or the indicator electrode surface.
(7) Mount the electrode assembly cover and restore the electrode assembly in the measuring tank. Tightly secure the assembly using the two fixing screws.
(8) Turn the converter power switch ON and confirm that the indicator electrode revolves normally. Also confirm that the concentration display presents an approximately proper value.
(9) Mount the converter cover. In addition, after the electrode is polished, perform running-in operation for one hour or longer. Then, calibrate span without fail.
Note: Polish the electrode surface (gold electrode) by following the instructions below when it has become corrugated or deformed from the original shape (about 3 mm in diameter).
Polish the electrode surface with sandpaper (about #600) until the surface becomes finally rounded. Then, polish it with sandpaper (about #2000), and lastly with polishing powder (alumina). Make sure the electrode surface is clean and then install the indicator electrode. Reduce the amount of ceramic beads if the electrode has deformed greatly. The ceramic beads should be filled up to 5 mm under the bottommost notch of the beads case when the indicator electrode is inserted.
6.1.2 Glass Beads and Measuring Tank CleaningIf the glass beads are contaminated, cleaning effect deteriorates. Periodically clean the glass beads and the measuring tank.The procedure follows:(1) Turn OFF the converter power switch. Stop sample water supply.(2) Remove the two fixing screws of the electrode assembly and secure the assembly to the
holding studs.(3) Remove the beads case from the measuring tank with the rubber packing attached. In this
case, exercise care so as not to drop glass beads into the measuring tank.(4) Clean the inside of the measuring tank using a brush with detergent on it. Use dilute
hydrochloric acid if manganese or iron adheres. Do not use organic solvent. After cleaning, completely wash out the detergent (or acid) using clean water or sample water.
(5) Move the glass beads to another vessel and clean them using dilute hydrochloric acid. After that, completely wash out the acid using clean water or sample water. For the beads case and rubber packing, remove dirt using detergent or dilute hydrochloric acid. After that, completely wash out the detergent or acid using clean water or sample water.
(6) Set the beads case to the rubber packing and load the cleaned glass beads in the case. If the beads have obviously become smaller in size (much smaller than a diameter of 1.7 to 2.3 mm), replace them with new ones. Glass beads are worn in long-term use, thereby reducing the ability of polishing indicator electrode. For optimum polishing, the new glass beads are normally filled up to the bottommost notch of the beads case when the indicator electrode is inserted (See Figure 4.2). The polishing ability cannot be recovered by replenishing the beads only by volume reduced by wear.
(7) Restore the beads case and rubber packing in the measuring tank. (8) Restore the electrode assembly to the measuring tank and secure it using the two fixing
screws.(9) Supply sample water. Turn ON the converter power switch. Confirm that the indicator
electrode normally revolves and the concentration display presents approx. the proper value. Finally, mount the converter cover. The cleaning effect of the glass beads deteriorates owing to abrasion of the beads themselves over prolonged use. Recommended practice is to replace the beads once or twice a year.

6.2 Electrical System6.2.1 Span Calibration
Perform span calibration at the rate of once every one or two weeks during the initial operation start period and check the sensitivity changes owing to indicator electrode contamination or the like to establish a reference for determining the calibration period. After the calibration period is determined, perform span calibration in an appropriate interval using the above period as a guide. When the indicator electrode is polished, perform span calibration without fail.
6.2.2 Converter CheckingCheck the converter periodically.The converter check function means to check the converter circuit operation.Converter checks can be performed using switch operations. Placing the MEAS./CHECK selector switch in the “CHECK” position transfers the converter input (current input and temperature input) from connection to the detector to connection to the simulated input. When the converter is normal, the free available chlorine concentration display indicates 0.90 to 1.10 mg/l regardless of the measuring range. In this case, the analog output is sent out in the range shown in Table 6.2 corresponding to the measuring range setting.

8.2 Auxiliaries and Consumables8.2.1 Polisher (Part number: K9088PE)
This is used for polishing the indicator electrode surface.
8.2.2 Glass Beads (Part number: K9332ZJ)The cleaning capability of glass beads in prolonged use deteriorates owing to abrasion. Normally, replace the beads once or twice a year.
8.2.3 Indicator Electrode (Part number: K9332MB)The electrode is gradually abraded by cleaning using glass beads. Generally, the electrode can be used for around three or four years. However, it is recommended that one spare electrode should be stored for unforeseen accident.
8.2.4 Grease (Part number: K9044FX)The grease is applied to stabilize continuity at the mounting base part (screw connection) when the indicator electrode is replaced. Apply the grease to the indicator electrode screw thread referring to the procedure manual attached to the auxiliaries.
8.2.5 Counter Electrode (Part number: K9332MK)Not subject to any abrasion, this electrode can be used for a prolonged period. However, it is recommended to store one electrode as a spare.

8.2.6 Rotating contact (Part number: K9332SR)Normally, one year is considered the replacement interval.
CAUTIONDo not touch the rotating contact when replacement is performed.
The rotating contact is in mechanism consisting of ring and brush together that obtain signals. It becomes worn out over long period of continuous use. Lubricant used for the part also needs to be concerned about its quality degradation after the long period of use. Therefore, standard replacement interval is one year.
CAUTIONThe storage limit for Rotating contact is one year after the purchase, considering degradation of the lubricant used inside. Store it in normal temperature and keep it away from direct sunlight.
